Why Geneva?

The Master of Arts in Higher Education at Geneva College is passionate about its mission to cultivate a vision for higher education that is rooted in a Christian view of life, characterized by a consideration of foundational issues, and committed to the preparation of perceptive and principled leaders for colleges and universities.

This program is extremely flexible, both in direction and delivery, which includes classroom and hybrid (classroom and online) options. Our graduates are working in a variety of careers, such as multicultural programs directors, academic advisors, resident directors and more. As a student of this program, you’ll have the opportunity to choose between our Cohort Model or Institutes Model, each offering you the flexibility and benefits that work for you and your schedule.

Students who are interested in continuing their education to the Master’s level are not required to take the GRE, MAT or other standardized tests.

Program Information

Geneva’s classroom, and combined classroom and online Master’s in Higher Education program prepares you for a professional career in higher education by fostering a comprehensive understanding of key topics and important trends in the field. And because our curriculum is grounded in the Reformed tradition of the Christian faith, you will explore the field under the guidance of faculty members who consider the implications of this perspective on work in colleges and universities. Throughout your course of study, you’ll discover how to:
  • Articulate the relevance and application of a Christian view of life to the study and practice of higher education
  • Understand the contours of contemporary higher education within the contexts of its theological, philosophical, historical, and sociological foundations
  • Advocate and model a holistic approach to the person in higher education settings
  • Develop beliefs, attitudes, and skills that reflect a professional identity rooted in Christian vocation, with particular emphasis on student affairs and administration, educational leadership, college teaching, and/or campus ministry
  • Utilize research, writing, and presentation skills in the investigation of a specific topic within the field of higher education

The Institutes Model allows students to attend two weeks of intensive courses during the summer and then finish the remainder of the four courses online.  This model allows students to complete their degree in two years.  The Cohort Model allows students to attend class weekly throughout the academic year and finish their degree in just 20 months.  The Cohort Model has paid graduate assistantships available with a 1/3 tuition discount.  We understand you have enough on your plate while in school.
